MOTS-c reconstitution calculator

How much bacteriostatic water to add to a MOTS-c vial, what concentration that gives, and how many units to draw on a U-100 insulin syringe for your dose.

Vial mass

The total mg of compound in the vial as labelled by the supplier.

Bacteriostatic water

How much sterile bac water you'll add to reconstitute the vial.

Desired single dose

How much of the compound you want to take per injection.

Syringe size

U-100 syringes use the standard 100 units = 1 ml gradation.

Draw on syringe

100 units

Volume to draw

1.00 ml

Concentration

5.00 mg/ml

Doses per vial

2 doses

Draw to the 100-unit mark on a 100-unit insulin syringe.

A worked example

Take a 10 mg vial of MOTS-c and the catalogue's typical dose of 5 mg. Add 1 ml of bacteriostatic water and the vial holds 10.0 mg/ml, so one dose is 50 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.

50 units = 5 mg

At once daily over 12 weeks that is 84 doses and 420 mg in total — 42 vials of 10 mg. One vial covers about 2 days at that rate. Storage on record — Refrigerate reconstituted solution at 2-8°C, use within 14 days

What the catalogue records

Typical dose: Start 5mg daily, increase to 10-15mg based on goals
Frequency: Daily for metabolic support, or 3x weekly for anti-aging
Cycle duration: 4-12 weeks depending on goals
Half-life: ~30 minutes
Storage: Refrigerate reconstituted solution at 2-8°C, use within 14 days

Mixing a MOTS-c vial

What you need

MOTS-c lyophilized powder
Bacteriostatic water
Insulin syringes
Alcohol swabs

Steps

Allow vial to reach room temperature (15-20 minutes)
Calculate required bacteriostatic water volume
Draw BAC water into insulin syringe
Inject slowly down vial side (not directly onto powder)
Gently swirl until dissolved (never shake vigorously)
Store at 2-8°C; use within 14 days

Where this goes next

MOTS-c — mechanism, dosing and safety — what it is, what the evidence says, and what it interacts with.
Build a cycle around it — the cycle builder runs this same arithmetic across every compound you add and totals the vials.
The general reconstitution calculator — the same tool with nothing prefilled.
